UCLA Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@GoodAfternoonSir haha okay I’ll see what I can pry out of the admissions staff

If I don’t get into UCLA I will legit cry.

@bruins8clap no joke i will too lol. whether i get accepted or not i know it’ll result in tears. just hoping all the hardworking and sacrifices pay off!

I can’t even imagine myself not getting into either UCLA or UC Berkeley. I mean… that would be so so horrible :frowning: Even though I also applied to a few other UC’s, I worked my ass off the entire 2.5 years in my community college to get into either ucla or cal. Like these days, I have a nightmare every night about getting rejected by my top choice schools. Just so nervous. Hope to get in so badly

@PokeBear I get the nightmares too man. Guess I’m not the only one

Well guys… 8 or 15 more days. :P…

How does one prepare themselves enough to click a button that either makes or breaks 3 years of dedication and hard work at cc? My stomach kinda drops every time I think about it.

Wherever we end up is right we’re exactly supposed to be. That’s what I keep reminding myself whenever I get bad anxiety over admission decisions. That way, expectations are tempered which would result to less disappintment should it turn out to be a rejection. I know we all busted our butts just to get that A while dealing with ECs and even life itself but when it’s all said and done, whether we end up at UCLA or not, we’ll realize that it all makes sense. It’ll make sense why we end up at this place and not that place.

TL;DR: Things happen for a reason.

Good luck guys!

@adreezybones

8 or 15 daysssssss

@adreezybones I really like that and I wholeheartedly agree! Whether it be UCLA or not, I want everyone to know that there will be a university who will honor and reward you for your time spent in CC. Ones loss is another gain.

Also, as a psychology major it’s really nice to see everyone express their current feelings. We will get through it, everybody.

I mean yeah sure, I’ll be a little sad if I hold the L in the word UCLA in 8 or 15 days but atleast I tried. I can always try again for grad school since the career I’m pursuing requires a grad degree anyway. Lol

So what should we do in the meantime? Anything you guys recommend so I can stop lurking this thread after doing my work? lol PLZ HELP I’M SO ANXIOUS

@GoodAfternoonSir play league

@GoodAfternoonSir I’m currently replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 lol. It’s a huge game so hopefully it keeps me occupied until decisions!

@twelveseveneight I quit after playing for two days cause there was so much to do I was getting addicted lol

@GoodAfternoonSir Go to the gym maybe and get them gains… haha that is what i have been doing, but spending time on site kills time too. Also, working 35+ hours a week bc housing is expensive af so that kills about all my time lolol

@CalBear1998 Haha, I decided to go to the gym after I receive my decision on the 19th for Berkeley. I feel like this wait is a huge anchor on my life and after the 19th, whether I get in or not, I will feel free and I’ll start working out to fix myself completely by Spring 2020 to get ready for Summer 2020 Internships.

Never hurts to plan ahead eh?

@GoodAfternoonSir Yeah, I feel it. Last semester I stopped caring so much about what I ate and ate whatever I wanted to cope with stress. Really fixed myself up this semester, working on them abs, toning, muscle gains, and just more self care in general. Havent really studied for classes like calc 3 and linear and still puling A’s so I feel like I’ve just been really hard on my self + over killed in terms of studying last semester… Now I’m kinda just chilling through this semester (felt burnt out) since grades count, but not really, just gotta maintain the contract if accepted which won’t be that bad with all pre reqs already done

@GoodAfternoonSir GOOD LUCK w/ HAAS acceptance, impressive stats! :slight_smile:

@CalBear1998 You a beast! Saw your stats! They are gold!!! I’m glad you are taking care of yourself! Thats a lot of hours you are working… dang I don’t feel really productive…
